About this map

Wildcat Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plateau landscape, where the drainage systems of Parashant Wash carve deep through the arid terrain. The map reveals a land defined by water scarcity and cattle ranching, with man-made improvements like Esplin Tank, Red Pond, and Pigeon Tank providing essential water sources across the wide expanse of McDonald Flat and Agway Valley. The topography is sharply interrupted by the dramatic descent into Parashant Canyon and Pigeon Canyon to the west, and Andrus Canyon at the southeastern corner.

Transportation through this isolated section of Mohave County relies on a sparse network of dirt roads and backcountry routes, including Co HWY 103 and RD 1046. From the Hidden Hills in the northwest to the remote Salt Spring in the northeast, the map documents the geographic reality of Arizona's Arizona Strip country, where topographical features and named water points dictate the movement of both livestock and people.
